...greet the vendors next morning with more deals of going back to work and negotiating later. The union rep arrived with a high card from the mythical local's down town office, but he didn't play his hand until after Nilon spoke.

Then the union rep took over and introduced his friend from downtown, who startlingly declared that he was against the strike, and it was the vendor's tough luck if Nilon fired people.

Among the guests: Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott (in a patchwork shirt), Federal Reserve Board Chairman Arthur Burns (yellow, blue and white sport jacket), Senators Abraham Ribicoff, J.
